  • Your car wouldn't switch off or to electric when idling, since that's even more effective?

    So, are you still arguing that charging EVs with diesel generators is more efficient than driving a diesel car?

  • Did he really indicate all that? Was it dismissive?

    What if it was an honest remark? Doesnt it feel good to know this stuff and being able to write it out?

    You're probably right and he was trying to be an asshole, but judging by the votes I dont seem to be the only one that didnt take his reply as snark.

    Edit: I went through their profile now and am convinced they were completely serious without any snark.

  • I answered that just one sentence earlier.

    Or do you mean when you plug your car into the charging station?

    Dont tell me you charged your car for 10 years with a diesel generator because you thought it would be more efficient.

    Edit: There's different types of Hybrids by the way. Judging by your replies, I assume you have one that only gets it power from braking energy and heat and going downhill, and doesnt have a plug.

  • The efficiency of a very good and big Diesel generator is ~50%running in its optimal state. You lose about 15%-25% from charging the battery. You already lost a minimum of 65% of energy before the car even rolled, which results in 35% of energy left.

    A modern diesel car's efficiency is >40%.

    Hybrids are mainly so good because they win brake energy and such back by charging the battery, also because you charge it at the power plant, not a diesel generator. They don't charge the battery with their motor.

    Trains are hybrids because there arent Power lines everywhere. They dont use the motor to charge the battery either.

    It's more efficient than a gas powered car though, as theyre at about 25% efficiency. Not if you charge the accumulator with Gas though. Physics, I tell ya. You cant win energy by converting it more often.

    Edit: When you charge the battery from the power plant, it's efficiency is about 65%.

  • What? Your Argument is that it's more efficient to charge an EV with a diesel generator than using it to combust in the car directly.

    And that's just flat out wrong.

    Im not biting on your fast goal post movement to trains, which makes Zero sense to support the initial Argument

  • Holy smokes, is this bizarro world?

    Youre arguing against the principle of physics.

    What makes a Diesel generator better then .. Checks notes... a Diesel Generator?

    By your logic it becomes better when it's used to charge a battery first.

  • We would just put diesel generators in the trunk if any of that would make sense.

    No, an electric car powered by a Diesel generator is definitively not more effective than a combustion car.

    The thought doesnt even make sense, since a Diesel generator is a combustion engine.

  • Yes, he will have to sell stock, which further continues the death spiral of tesla and musk. Genius hasnt deversified and is all in on Tesla and is in debt. "The richest man on earth" is just his stocks. When he loses that, he lost everything.

    The bank doesnt care, they will get their money. musk does indeed care.
